Standing 5112 feet (1558 meters) in height, Devils Tower in Wyoming is one of the most iconic sights in the world. The tower has served as the backdrop for numerous movies and television shows, making it instantly recognizable to millions who might not even know its name. In this video, climbers Jorg Verhoeven and Katha Saurwein set out to scale this massive wall and stand on top of the tower. You’ll go along for the ride as they make their way up the rock face, which is rated at a challenging 5.10d. Of course, the views from the top are worth the effort, as the surrounding countryside is nothing short of spectacular. Check it out below.

why am I directed here only to find the video is private?
Obviously they removed the video after I published it. That happens from time to time for some reason. Can't be helped.
